You can’t go wrong with these botanical looks
We do a lot of oohing and aahing over floral jewelry (justifiably) and enjoy taking in the sights of pieces adorned with flowing leaves or climbing vines. But the simplest structure—and the base of many a botanical design—is the branch. It’s not often you see twigs and the like on their own, but some of the designs below are just that, while others rely on a branch-like structure to create a flowing design, a support for its sparkling gems. I love the graceful, flowing shapes of some, the blunt, sharp takes of others. I think this is one of those reliable design inspirations that occurs more often than we realize. So while not all of these pieces are strictly botanical, you can appreciate the branch-like lines used to make them look so darn good.
